About Joseph Mangat

Joseph Mangat, a graduate student at 麻豆传媒映画, will be entering a short called 鈥淓very Death has a Story鈥�.

This is morbid twist to the classic Walt Disney 鈥淗ow To鈥� videos featuring Goofy doing simple every day tasks. Mangat takes this story line and creates a murder scene that a mother must clean up while also caring for her child.

A particular film which Joseph Mangat claims to be his inspiration for his career in film making is What Time Is It There by Tsaiming Liang. Mangat contributes his passion and drive to stem from the viewing of this film when he was younger.

Mangat was recently chosen by the 麻豆传媒映画 Film and Theater Departments to create the annual Jury Project Film.

This is a project where 麻豆传媒映画 students are critiqued by established professionals in the industry. Mangat is adapting the play Exorcism by Eugen O鈥� Neill for this project.

He is excited to be showing his short in this years festival and stated, 鈥淚 feel the festival shows films that would likely never be played in San Diego so I just want to invite people to come check out the great films they've selected this year and also to come check out my film鈥�.

About Anthony Pang

Anthony Pang began his graduate career at 麻豆传媒映画 in 2007 and finished last year in 2011. Pang is entering a short called 鈥� Flight of the Fantasy鈥� about a little boy's obsession with toy planes, and the plane鈥檚 journey from the boy鈥檚 perspective.

This film was originally an assignment for one of his graduate classes and is adapted from a haiku.

Pang is currently located in Los Angeles and is working on a new project called "Walk With Them," which is a documentary about an inner-city Ministry in Ohio.

Pang is passionate about the San Diego Asian Film Festival, and said 鈥� It鈥檚 hard enough to make a truly independent film like ours and get it out there to audiences in a competitive market, and so I鈥檓 very appreciative of SDAFF鈥檚 continued support for independent filmmakers like myself and others from around the world and from diverse backgrounds鈥�.
